Arcadios murmured softly, his eyes fervent.
"This age no longer needs the rule of dragons."
"The first two-man match officially begins!"
Jabba's booming voice echoed throughout the arena.
Inside Blue Pegasus's contestant tunnel, Ichiya struck a dashing pose and slowly walked out. Beside him followed a mysterious figure dressed in a pink rabbit mascot costume.
Quatro Cerberus's representatives were Bacchus and Rocker.
